Can you use baking soda for your teeth when you have braces?

Answer 1

As a cleaning agent, baking soda is less abrasive than virtually any other cleaning agent and can be used as toothpaste. Less abrasion means less tooth wear, which helps keep your teeth healthier, longer. And when it comes to cleaning, recent studies indicate that baking soda in high concentrations, break down into tiny particles that are able to penetrate enamel crevices and remove food particles and deep stain embedded there. Other cleaning agents, like silica, used in many commercial toothpastes, don't readily break down into such tiny particles, so they are too big to clean inside the enamel crevices. So simply put, Yes.

Answer 3

Not necessarily. When you brush, you are brushing off soft plaque. Baking soda is more abrasive than regular toothpaste and may remove some stain, however any toothpaste with fluoride is fine for brushing. Brushing thoroughly and for 2 minutes is the best for removing plaque bacteria. Plus flossing.

It depends on what they are used for. Baking soda is used usually for only whitening and tooth paste can be used to prevent cavities, and clean your teeth.
